About

Semi-evergreen wild rose with rambling stems, common in Mediterranean hedges and scrublands. The fragrant white flowers attract bees and other pollinators, and the fruits feed wildlife. In the agroforestry system it occupies the shrub layer, forms defensive hedges and offers shelter for beneficial fauna.

It is harvested now — September is one of the harvest months.
